3. Setup

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove the magnifier from its packaging.
2. Unfolding: Gently pivot the protective cover away from the lens housing until it is fully open and the lens is exposed. The hinge mechanism is designed for smooth operation.

4. Operating Instructions

To achieve optimal magnification and clarity, follow these steps:

1. Positioning: Hold the magnifier close to your eye.
2. Focusing: Bring the object you wish to examine close to the lens until it appears sharp and clear. The ideal focal distance for a 10x magnifier is typically very short, often just a few centimeters from the lens.
3. Illumination: Ensure adequate lighting on the object for best viewing results.
4. Viewing: The aplanatic-achromatic design minimizes spherical and chromatic aberrations, providing a flat, color-accurate image across the entire field of view.

5. Maintenance

Proper care will ensure the longevity and performance of your ZEISS magnifier.

• Cleaning the Lens: Use a soft, lint-free optical cleaning cloth. For stubborn smudges, a small amount of specialized lens cleaning fluid can be applied to the cloth, not directly to the lens. Avoid abrasive materials or harsh chemicals.
• Storage: Always fold the protective cover over the lens when not in use. Store the magnifier in a clean, dry place, away from extreme temperatures and direct sunlight.
• Handling: Avoid dropping the magnifier or subjecting it to strong impacts, as this can damage the optical elements or housing.

6. Troubleshooting

• Image appears blurry: Ensure the lens is clean and free of dust or smudges. Adjust the distance between the magnifier, your eye, and the object until the image is sharp.
• Insufficient magnification: The ZEISS D40 provides a fixed 10x magnification. If higher magnification is required for your task, a different optical tool may be necessary.
